The mounting instructions for the DTS are fine provided that you can find them ... accepting that English will be the minority language for a while. The DTC technical manual has become widely available across the web but it no longer reflects the components present on the DTC board I have just purchased. There are fewer components but also fewer cable connection points and therefore unanswered questions around turntable motor power, the orientation of the turntable ribbon. I have yet to discover which version of the configuration software is required and its instructions. Mac OS seems to be several versions behind so do I need to use Windows. Are there up to date English versions out there and FAQs?

Hi Jeremy,

DinaSys documents and configuration software are available from this portal in the file galleries -> DinaSys
We will add a link to the documentation in the box.

The relays for the sidings are usually not mounted since this is an option used by not more than 10% of the users, so it is an optional feature.
In the box you received there should be a clarification for the other differences. Otherwise see remarks below. All cables are supplied pre-wired and fit only one way. The connections for the turntable, track-power and e-stop button are as explained in the DTC 1.5 manual.

We know Backward Compatibility seems to be a nuisance for Apple. The DTC configuration software is provided as is, for now. It cannot be recompiled for the newest Mac OS because PiCommIT lost the sourcecode. We are rewriting the configuration tooling from scratch, also for other reasons, and it will be made available when ready.

Best regards,
Leon

Remarks DTCv1:

• JP2 and JP3 are no longer present. The choice to supply the module with AC or DC voltage no longer needs to be set with a jumper. AC voltage or DC voltage can still be supplied. Note: The supplied and pre-wired power cable is wired for DC voltage. Pay attention to polarity (red = plus)
• When using AC voltage as power supply, the CAN bus is now also supplied with this power.
• P12 is no longer present. Instead, there is a wire bridge on the back of the module. This reduces possible connection errors.

Hi Jeremy,

If the sensor-module is not connected the DTC behaves unpredictable. In shows strange behaviour of the DTC Config utility as well, but at least in Windows no crash.
Although not crucial, since the DTC is not supposed to be operated without DTS, I think I may be able to fix it at the DTC side.

Best regards,
Leon

Oh, thát ribbon cable.
Strange.. Whether that is connected or not should not have any effect on the DTC, except that the bridge does not move and the DTC will then force a (controlled) stop after some time. Maybe a bad connection causes spikes on the power supply.

Anyway, glad it now works to your satisfaction.

Best regards, Leon

Is er al nieuws over de kwestie met betrekking tot DTS-Config en iMac M1/ARM https://www.dinamousers.net/forumthread13319-DTS-config-voor-iMac-64-bits?topics_offset=1 sinds oktober 2021? Of is er een update beschikbaar om te downloaden?

Are there any news on the issue concernig DTS-Config and iMac M1/ARM https://www.dinamousers.net/forumthread13319-DTS-config-voor-iMac-64-bits?topics_offset=1 since October 2021? Or is there an update available for download?

DTC--Config 6.0 Beta 1.1
Sytem Version 3.00 Build 17
iMac 24" Apple Chip M1
MacOS Monterey 12.1

Der Befehl „codesign“ kann das Problem „Sie haben keine Berechtigung zum Öffnen der Anwendung“ mit DTCnewConfig1.0 lösen. Es kann, weil ich das Problem mit einem M1 Macbook nicht reproduzieren kann, also kann ich die Lösung nicht testen. Der Befehl löst keine Probleme innerhalb eines Programms.

Es gibt kein DTC-Config 6.0 oder DTCnewConfig 6.0. Es gab eine Testversion namens 6.0beta, die jedoch nicht mehr zum Download zur Verfügung steht und bestehende Versionen werden nicht unterstützt.

DTCnewConfig 1.0 Build 1 wurde auf DTCv1 (Hardware) und DTC3.17 bis 3.21 Firmware getestet und auf DTCv3 Hardware mit DTC 6.00 Build 1 Firmware getestet. DTCnewConfig 1.0 Build 1 ist für Windows verfügbar. Linux und Mac. Nativer Code, Die Mac-Version ist auf einem M1-Chipsatz kompiliert und läuft auf einem MacBook mit M1-Chipsatz und MacOS Monterey ohne Konvertierung oder "Rosetta". Wenn es nicht läuft, weil Apple es blockiert, sagen andere Benutzer anderer Programme mit ähnlichen Problemen, dass die Anweisung "Codesign" die beste Option ist und in den meisten Fällen funktioniert.

The "codesign" command may solve the "You do not have permission to open the application" problem with DTCnewConfig1.0. It may, because I cannot reproduce the problem with an M1 Macbook, so I cannot test the solution.The command will not solve any issues within any program.

There is no DTC-Config 6.0 or DTCnewConfig 6.0. There was a test version named 6.0beta, but it is no longer available for download and existing versions will not be supported.

DTCnewConfig 1.0 build 1 is tested on DTCv1(hardware ) and DTC3.17 through 3.21 fiirmware and tested on DTCv3 hardware with DTC 6.00 build 1 firmware. DTCnewConfig 1.0 build 1 is available for Windows. Linux and Mac. Native code, The Mac version is compiled on an M1 chipset and runs on a MacBook with M1 chipset and MacOS Monterey without conversion or "Rosetta". If it does not run because Apple blocks it, other users of other programs with similar problems say the "codesign" instruction is the best option and works in most cases.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Nach dem letzten Update wegen Bug Fixes von macOS Monterey 12.1 nach 12.2 habe ich noch einmal eine Reihe von Tests mit "DTCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS Universal" gemacht. Leider bekomme ich auch hier immer wieder die Meldung "The application "DTCnewconfig.app" can't be opened". Ich kekomme nie die Meldung „Sie haben keine Berechtigung zum Öffnen der Anwendung“ .

Was ich hier nicht verstehe ist, dass die DTCnewConfig 6.0 beta 1.1.app sich immer ohne Probleme installieren lässt, die .app in DTCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS Universal.zip aber nie.
Was ist zwischen beiden anders?
Oder ist vieleicht die falsche DTCnewconfig im zip File?

DTC--Config 6.0 Beta 1.1
DTC--Sytem Version 3.00 Build 17
iMac 24" Apple Chip M1

After the last update due to bug fixes from macOS Monterey 12.1 to 12.2, I ran a series of tests again with "DTCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS Universal". Unfortunately I always get the message "The application "DTCnewconfig.app" can't be opened". I never get the message "You do not have permission to open the application" .

What I don't understand here is that the DTCnewConfig 6.0 beta 1.1.app always installs without problems, but the .app in DTCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS Universal.zip never.
What is different between the two?
Or maybe the wrong DTCnewconfig in the zip file?

Ich glaube nicht, dass DTC(new)Config 6.0 Beta 1.0 Build 1 jemals für Mac kompiliert wurde, nur für Windows und Linux. Sie führen also wahrscheinlich ein Windows-Programm aus.
In diesem Fall könnte also auch die Windows-Version von DTCnewConfig 1.0 Build 1 funktionieren.

I don't think DTC(new)Config 6.0 beta 1.0 build 1 was ever compiled for Mac, only Windows and Linux. So you are probably running a Windows program.
So in that case, the Windows version of DTCnewConfig 1.0 build 1 may work too.

Best regards, Leon

Nein, das ist kein Windows Program. Wie soll das denn auf einem iMac ARM/M1 laufen? Ich habe auch kein Parallels Desktop oder VmWare Fusion installiert. Wenn ich versuche ein Windows Program zu starten bekomme ich folgende Mac-Meldung:

-You can’t open the application “DTC-Config.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS.-

Das DTCConfig 6.0 ist garantiert sicher eine App für Mac. Anbei die Mac-Infos zum Program mit "Get Info". Das Program wurde am 17/08/2021 von der Dynasys Software Seite herunter geladen.

No, this is not a Windows program. How is that supposed to run on an iMac ARM/M1? I also don't have Parallels Desktop or VmWare Fusion installed. When I try to start a Windows program I get the following Mac message:

-You can’t open the application “DTC-Config.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS.-

The DTCConfig 6.0 is definitely an app for Mac. Attached is the Mac information about the program with "Get Info". The program was downloaded from the Dynasys Software site on 17/08/2021.

There are 2 new files in the file galleries
DTCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS 64 bit.zip is compiled for Intel
DTCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS ARM 64 bit.zip is compiled for M1
Borth work on my M1 Macbook, because Rosetta is automatically launched when starting the Intel version, but everything seems to work on my Macbook, so .. ?
The Intel version is confirmed to work on an Intel Mac by another tester too.

Fine

The file - DTCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS ARM 64 bit.zip - also works on my iMac. I can test the turntable, read and write values. The single point that does not work is still the Sensor Test button. Nothing happens and I must then disconnect and reconnect the turntable, not necessary to stop the App.

Tomorrow I will test the -TCnewConfig 1_0 Build 01 macOS 64 bit.zip - and look if it also works (with Rosetta). I hope the Sensor Test Button will then work.

I will give some news tomorrow.

So the software works. Apparently there are issues with the Universal version then. It is twice as big as the separate versions, so the universal actually brings nothing.
No need to test the Intel version, the application is the same.

Wat DTC do you have (type, software version, etc)?
